The Braves have been playing without one of their best players, but may soon get him back.

Second baseman Ozzie Albies left Friday's game early with a hamstring injury and has not played since. He is out of the lineup Monday, but should avoid a disabled list stint as the team hopes to get him back Thursday against the Dodgers.

Snitker said #Braves are aiming to have Ozzie back in lineup Thursday after Wednesday's team day off. He ran some today in outfield before game, is doing better but they're being cautious.
